Callsign maps for extra calls Oct 17, 2012
This page is a link to a collection of maps showing the status of all US
1x2 and 2x1 calls in a very concise format. These were produced by processing
the full weekly FCC database dump of the amateur database.
Here is a small sample of a maps and how to interpret it:
Kx6x
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
A XXXXXXXXX8XXXX8XXXXXXXXXXX A
B XXXXXX8XXXXXXXX8XXXXXX XXX B
The first row of mostly Xs shows that calls KA6A, KA6B through KA6I, and so
on are currently assigned calls.
The blank space in the second row shows that KB6W was available on April 7th.
The 8s in the A row indicate that KA6J and KA6O were de-activated in 1998. This could
be because they expired, were vacated when the holders got new calls or the
holder passed away. 9s and 0s denote the same in 1999 and 2000. Two years
after a call has been vacated, it is eligible for reassignment (sooner if
Gate 1 rules apply to you and the call).
You can get a pretty good idea of the current status of one of these call
signs with the University of Arkansas, Little Rock, ham radio club callsign
server at

Remember that 2x1 calls in which the second letter is H, L or P will only be
assigned to licensees in the Pacific, Alaska or Caribbean Islands, respectively.
